You & Me CAS Romantic Card


I am posting another card I made with the technique I learned about from Jennifer McGuire here. Once the background is created with masking, distress inks, embossing and perfect pearls, all you need to do is add some die cuts and you have a lovely CAS card. I chose a Tonic Studios embossing folder but put the card front in the wrong way and ended up with de-bossed roses. I still liked the way it looked,so I attached it to a card base and added the roses and sentiment dies. Originally I die cut the roses corner (from Penny Black) in a light pink vellum and the "you & me" in a red. But after the card was done, I was not happy with the roses, so I added another layer of roses cut in a bright red. Then the reds clashed, so I added another black "you and me" (from Little B.)

I am entering this card in the Anything Goes challenge at Scrapy Land (Penny Black and Little B dies used) and the CAS challenge at Allsorts.

I love how you masked off an area and sponged on color for the background. Great dies you added to it as well. It is a beautiful card.
